Another Jennifer Aniston find, this clip is from the film Management from 2008. It involves Aniston's rather remote character checking into a motel, where Steve Zahn's character is helping out with his parents business and becomes obsessed with her after he first notices her bottom (well, who can blame him?) and falls for the rest of her. In this clip, he gets a surprise when going to her room when she makes the offer to become a little more acquainted with the object of his amorous affections. Not surprisingly, he takes her up on the offer...

This week's Pat of Appreciation comes from the film The Grass is Greener (1960), starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr as owners of a country estate having to let out their manor to tourists to bring in money. The fair Deborah looks particularly lovely in this and possesses a fine backside that Cary Grant - THE ultimate cinema smoothy - actually gets to handle. The scene itself just involves the couple walking along while Deborah talks about money saving schemes, but as she goes to go into a room Cary Grant gives her bum a nice pat to encourage her in. I've let the scene itself continue a bit longer, just so you can have a good look at Deborah's bum and because she also possesses quite a nice pair of legs too! Enjoy.

This week's video comes from the 1939 film Sons of the Sea, and featured Kay Walsh and Kynaston Reeves. For a British film from 1939, it has some rather racy dialogue, as Reeves catches Kay ogling the naval cadets through a telescope (always nice to know it isn't just the men that ogle through a telescope) and pats her bum to startle her. "Why this sudden interest in astronomy?" he asks her, knowing perfectly well why. "Ah, it's not so sudden," she replies. "Oh, so you weren't observing the heavenly bodies then?" quips Reeves. In another extraordinary comment, when talking about her boyfriend, he asks "Is he as stiff as he looks?" "Oh no," replies Kay. "He unbends occasionally." Saucy stuff indeed! I have also included a clips of Kay's bum in pink trousers, just to show off what Reeves would of been patting, and she sure possesses a sweet bottom on her!

As for Kay Walsh, she started out in films in 1934 and soon became a name in the 1940's, when not only did she marry the film director David Lean, but appeared in some of his films, including most famously as Nancy in Oliver Twist in 1948. She also appeared as the graveyard caretaker's wife in Greyfriars Bobby in 1960 before retiring from acting in 1981. She died in her 94th year in 2005, and may of lived longer had she not suffered burns during an accident that caused her death. Thankfully film preserves the memories of these actresses, so that technically they never really die.

This week's Pat of Appreciation comes from the Doctors film series, and in particular Doctor at Sea (1955), which featured a young Brigitte Bardot. However, the lady that features in this video is Jill Adams, who here plays a rather tipsy girl who ends up as a surprise package for Dirk Bogarde's Dr Simon Sparrow when he goes to his cabin to bed after a ship's party and finds Adams in his cabin. This being Dirk Bogarde, he isn't having any of it, and attempts to wake her up by giving her a couple of firm slaps to her backside to rouse her (well, that would be my excuse). This doesn't entirely work, but the scene where Bogarde attempts to get her back into her own cabin is amusing enough, and I've left that on the end of the video for you to enjoy. Certainly Jill Adams looks a treat here.

As for Jill Adams, she started out as a window dresser and then sketch artist for the shop in the 1940's, and when a model failed to arrive for a shoot, Jill had to step in and thus started her modelling career. In 1953 she was discovered again, and quickly moved into acting, which she proved surprisingly adept at, and had an array of hits including The Constant Husband (1955), Private's Progress (1956), The Green Man (1956) and Brothers in Law (1957), and although her career was beginning to wane by the 1960's she was noticeable as WPC Policewoman Passworthy in Carry on Constable in 1960. She retired from acting in 1966, and died in 2008, aged 77.

Another Doctors' film, this time Doctor in Distress (1963), and again involving Dirk Bogarde. This time the lady involved is Mylene Demongeot, a French starlet who was hugely popular in both France and England in the late 50's/early 60's. Bogarde's character ends up dating her after he arrives at her flat looking for his girlfriend, only to discover she has moved out. In this video clip he turns up at her flat for an intimate dinner for two with a bottle, leading to her querying it. "It's supposed to be a tonic," says Bogarde. "With me around you don't need a tonic," replies Mylene, before kissing him. That certainly gives him a boost, as when she gets up he gives her bum a hearty slap, and Mylene gives a yelp of surprise. Mind you, Mylene's character is very much more adventurous than Dirk's, and he notices that the table is set for three, only to find out that she has invited her twin sister along. "We are very close. We share everything together," says Mylene - and by that she really does mean a menage a trois! I have also included on the end of the video a couple of clips of when Bogarde first meets Mylene at the flat. This is due to Mylene wearing some of the shortest shorts you will ever see - certainly for 1963, anyway!

This clip comes from the UK film A Window in London (1939), in which Michael Redgrave believes he has seen a woman being murdered at the window while on a train to work. Sounds very Agatha Christie, though in truth it doesn't entirely work out like that. Anyway, before all that there is a scene where he returns home from work to his wife (played by the beautiful Patricia Roc), who is asleep in bed. As she does night shift (no, nothing naughty, I assure you), he has to wake her up to go to work, and does so by the ever practical way of slapping her bum. It's a lovely sound, and sure does the job, and you also get the benefit later in the film of seeing Roc in just her underwear. I should of included that in this clip, but instead you can check her out in another clip I have posted of her in the "EUF's in Classic Movies and TV" thread here: https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/sho...8&postcount=67. In that clip, she finds herself being undressed and not being able to do a thing about it!

As for Patricia Roc, this was one of her earliest screen roles, having only come into acting the previous year. She'd had an unusual upbringing, adopted when young by a Belgium father and French mother from her English parents. She didn't discover the truth until she was in her 30's, by which time she was a big star. She shot to fame in Millions Like Us in 1943, and became a star in Gainsborough films such as The Man in Grey (1943), and The Wicked Lady (1945), where (according to wiki pedia) "Roc's overt bisexuality" had to be downplayed and scenes reshot due to the low cleavages of the dresses in order for the film to be shown to US audiences. Whether Roc was herself bisexual or merely gave that edge to her characters in films is hard to say, but she did marry 3 times in her life. Her career waned during the 1950's and her last screen role was in the TV series The Saint in 1962. She hit the headlines in 1975 for a shoplifting charge, but afterwards retired to Switzerland where she died in 2003, aged 88.

This week's video is from Moll Flanders - no, not the raunchy UK TV series from 1996, but the 1964 film version starring Kim Novak. As you'd expect from such a racy source novel, there is some bum pinching of the title heroine, but not as much as you'd imagine. Only two, in fact. The first comes when she is singing a recital with the family that raised her when she was an orphan, with Derren Nesbitt and Daniel Massey. As her voiceover tells us that "in addition to music, we had lessons in deportment, manners..." Massey's hand reaches down and pinches her bum, startling her.

The 2nd comes when she has shared a passionate tumble in the hay with Massey and comes out of the barn, only for his brother (Nesbitt) to see them and the two get into a fight. As she watches on, their father (Cecil Parker) comes along to inquire about the noise. Telling him that they are fighting, he wagers that they are "fighting over some wench, I wouldn't wonder" and asks if he knows her, before then pinching her bum and plucking some hay from her buttocks. "In the barn?" he inquires mischievously. "I was looking for eggs," says an embarrassed Novak. "Find any?" replies a disbelieving Parker.

For Novak, she came to films in 1954 and quickly found fame in films such as Picnic (1955), The Man with the Golden Arm (1955), Bell, Book & Candle (1958) and most famously Vertigo (1958). Her role in Moll Flanders in 1964 marked what was the wane of her time at the top. Her last role was in 1991 in Liebestraum and after her experience in that she decided to retire. She is still going strong however, and is now 88 years old.

This week's clip starts the beguiling Susan Stephen, who appears in a film that had a number of titles, but started out in 1954 as Golden Ivory. This clip is in B&W (I'll explain why later) and is a rather ordinary outback adventure film, where two brothers - each with their own agenda - escort a family of settlers across Kenya. This clip sees Susan and Robert Urquhart, one of the brothers, talking before Susan gives him cheek by mentioning how people who drink can do unpredictable things - obviously a reference to Robert's character's own drinking. He responds by backhanding her backside as she passes, giving a nice sound as he smacks her cheeks. And she has a mighty fine bottom on her, I can tell you! And to prove it I've added slowed down clips on the end of this video from another film she did just 2 years before this in the UK film Father's Doing Fine from 1952. In that film (which she did when she was 21), it looks remarkably as if she is wearing a thong under her tight trousers - hence why I have slowed it down for you to have better scrutiny of it.

It isn't the only thing you get to see of young Susan, I may add. Going back to Golden Ivory, it was released in colour in the USA as Outlaw Safari, but when bought up by American International Pictures in 1957 it was bizarrely cut and re-released in B&W in a double feature with Naked Africa to corner the exploitation market. The reason it was included in the exploitation sphere was because of a swimming scene that revealed a lot more of Susan Stephen than UK audiences had ever seen of her. Yet ironically it is the unedited American version (which seems to have no other naughty clips, despite it's length) that has the rather more revealing scene, as in colour you can see a damn sight more than when in B&W. This scene I've posted on burger1701's "Random TV/dvd thread", which you can find here to see for yourself: https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/sho...postcount=1101

As for Susan, she was a big star in the 1950's, with further notable films being For Better, For Worse (1954) and Carry on Nurse (1959), before marriage to director Nicolas Roeg in 1957 curtailed her career far too short in 1962. She died in 2000, aged only 68, but her perky charms and earnest breathy voice made her distinctive in her films, and made you wish that hubby Roeg had thought to cast her in some of his more 'interesting' films with her undoubted talents.

This week's Pat of Appreciation is from an American classic, the Pre-Code film It Happened One Night (1934), starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert. The latter played an heiress who ran away from her father's yacht to try and elope, only to find herself stuck with Clark Gable's out of work reporter, who realizes the whole country is looking for her and decides to stick with her to get a big exclusive and revive his career. It's a brilliant film, and well worth catching, and has a number of famous scenes. This scene is one of them, and sees Gable having to escort Claudette over a river by slinging her over his shoulder so she doesn't get wet. It has some lovely dialogue, as he tells her off for "being playful" before they get into an argument over what is a piggy back. As Gable begins to tire of the argument, he has a novel way of ending it. He gives her shoes for her to hold, then promptly slaps her backside as admonishment before continuing on their way, as she cries out in pain. She couldn't argue with that - especially when slung over Gable's shoulders!

The film swept the Oscars the following year for the 1934 Academy Awards, including Oscars for Gable and Colbert. Neither star wanted to do the film, ironically, forced to do so by their prospective studios. And while Gable grew to like the film once filming was over, amazingly Colbert never did. Claudette herself had a long and varied career, first on the stage, then in films just as the talkies began in 1928. She notably had a number of scantily clan Pre-Code roles, including famously bathing nude in The Sign of the Cross in 1932, but once she won her Oscar she refused to do any more saucy roles and became an actress of much renown. She died in 1996, just 2 months short of her 93rd birthday.
